Hi Laura... Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Your site is so refreshing. I just read your "unraveling" post and loved it. So true and hearing how other moms experience the same feelings and how our Lord doesn't expect perfection. Ahhh..... His grace. Thank you for that breath of fresh air. I am a follower now. I will be back. Nancy

Oh my! As you can tell from my last post, I am having a week of unraveling! ;) I feel like I've lost ground in some key areas -- especially with my teen -- but I know that God's grace is there. I just have to receive it and get back with the program,letting Him empower me!

It helps if you have a partner that you can communicate with. Raising children is not all fun and games and it's natural to get at the end of your rope. But very important to look at the big picture and say 'This too shall pass.'and it does, until next time.Thank you for your visit.Rita

Maybe it's because I'm still kind of new to the whole parenting thing, but it's reassuring to me to hear that even the most (seemingly) put-together moms sometimes unravel. It's so easy to envy the ones who seem to have it all under control that it's also easy to forget that they struggle sometimes too.

ARE YOU OUTNUMBERED?

Overwhelmed? Surrounded?

I’ve spent most of my “mom life” outnumbered … by four sons!

It’s easy for a mom to feel outnumbered today, to feel isolated and alone. But we really can’t do it all alone.

Moms need each other, not to mention a touch of something greater than us.

Along the way I’ve stumbled on a few ways to cope with this “mom life.” I’m here to share and to learn from you, too.

Whether you mother an infant, a toddler or a teen, an empty nest or a full one, you're not alone.

No matter what kind of mom you are – no matter what’s outnumbering you today – there’s hope and help.

Hang on, Mom!
